You can try the Collector's Edition http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anno-1404-Collecto...D/dp/B002DWAZQ2 but I haven't seen any locally. But boy oh boy those extras are sure yummy.

I asked TSB and they say the distributor here doesn't bring in the CE. sad.gif

Anyone in the UK can help instead? tongue.gif

Just a heads up, the new ATI Catalyst 9.8 broke this game. Ground textures are just plain black.

So stick to the previous drivers.

You could've put the instructions here. doh.gif

Anyway, here are the instructions. Take note this disables DX10, so if you're used to shiny & pretty gfx (like me), tough luck. vmad.gif

1. Open c:\users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404\Config\Engine.ini
2. Change "<DirectXVersion>0</DirectXVersion>" to "<DirectXVersion>9</DirectXVersion>" (without the quotes)

Make sure to make a backup of Engine.ini first just in case.

Ok... this is important guys!!

Is it true this game comes with DRM with limited installation?

I must admit now that this game is addictive but if what I stated above is true, tat's a HUGE BLOW. I'll regret buying original...

Yeap. 3 total, last I checked. Similar to EA's Securom (Spore, ME, etc).
